Here's one that I had never heard of before, but tried it and actually became one of my favorites:





Sweet Potato Salad





1 large can sweet potatoes


2 hard boiled eggs, diced (I like 5 eggs)


1 dill pickle, diced


1 small onion, diced


2 celery stalks, diced


1 cup mayonnaise


1 tablespoons, spicy brown mustard


1 teaspoon lemon juice


salt and pepper to taste.





Drain sweet potatoes (discard any stringy pieces); mash into an even consistency. Add diced eggs, pickle, onion and celery and stir. Mix mayonnaise, mustard and lemon juice. Stir all ingredients together and refrigerate for 1 hour.





You can eat this like a salad, in a sandwich or in a wrap. Even try spreading it on a tortilla, roll it up, wrap it in plastic overnight, and then cut it into slices for appetizers.
1 pkg. baby spinach (clean and rinse)


cut up some sweet strawberrys (about a 1cup to 1 1/2 cup)


handful of dried cranberries, and if you like the flavor of


fresh cilantro, add some of that too. (sometimes i put salted sunflower seeds in it too)


make balsamic vinigerette: 1/4 cup of red balsamic vinegar, 3/4 cup of olive oil, 1 tsp. mustard powder, salt and pepper to taste.





Healthy, simple and nutrient rich!
A salad I really love is super simple. I take spring mix greens and lightly toss them in some poppyseed dressing. I then put sliced or cubed green and red apple, walnuts, pecans, slivered almonds, and edemame beans on top. Its fantastic and something different than your everyday vegetable salad.
ARTICHOKE RICE SALAD


1 (6-7oz) pkg. chicken flavored rice mix (like Rice-a-Roni)


2 green onions, thinly sliced


1/2 green pepper, diced


8 pimento-stuffed olives, sliced


2 (6 oz) jars marinated artichoke hearts (cut up)


1/4 tsp. curry powder


1/3 c. mayonnaise


Make rice according to package. Mix (while warm) with everything else until well mixed up. Serve hot, cold or room temp...





GREAT for buffets, since it can be served room temp.... I've been making this almost 30 years, and everyone loves it
Prepare salad stuff of your choice into smallish pieces, then add some diced cooked chicken, add mayonnaise to curry paste and toss together, have with some pitta bread.
